Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78171196 Super Nintendos are not so old. I have an original Ninetendo in it's box with the original controllers, which kinda fail at times. But Super Nintendo controllers have a much different feel and it effects you ability to control and win the games. |

My old hand mixer is a GE from the 70s. You have to be careful where the wire goes into the unit so that it's not pulled on or bent too much. I suppose you could take it apart and fix the wire if it breaks, but I haven't had to do that yet. |

User ID: 30776013 Canada 11/16/2019 10:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Telefunken tube radio from the 50s. Worked the last time I tried. Oldest electronic that I still use every day, a Osterizer blender that I bought back in 1975. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77556714 United States 11/16/2019 10:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Have a number of kitchen appliances that I got new back in 1973 that are still going strong. Electronics the one I still use regularly is a mid 80's Sony portable SW/AM/FM receiver. Great design. Oldest electronics that have that sill work and I use on occasion are a 1) Stewart tabletop SW/AM/FM radio from probably late 1960's and 2) Tabletop SW/AM Automate Direction Finder tube radio from the early 1960's (before the days of even Loran for recreational boats when going out on the open ocean) that came with my first Open Ocean transiting sailboat. Even after many years of being around salt water that part mechanical, but automatic, ADF still works like a champ ... unbelievable!! (the antenna system on the top physically rotates via a motor to plot the direction to the transmitting station - which on the ocean can be several hundred miles away). A Rube Goldberg device if there ever was one with the marriage of mechanical motors with electronic (tube) circuitry ... but what a device for it's day for navigating on the oceans (before consumer grade Loran receivers and decades before GPSs)!! |
